Peglau of St. George, Utah passed away quietly on July 28th, 2008, at the age of 92. She was the wife of the late Glen C. Peglau and the daughter of the late Angus M. Maughan and Susie Lena Keller. Born near Preston, Idaho in 1916, Lila later moved with her family to Richfield, Utah, where she grew up. An outstanding student, she graduated first in her class, summa cum laude, at Utah State University and attended the University of Pennsylvania School of Social Work. Very interested in the welfare of children and women, Lila first worked as a social worker in Salt Lake City until she started her own family. She later became active in the League of Women Voters, Planned Parenthood and other community-focused organizations. After her children grew older, she and Agie (Henry) Plenk founded a nursery school at the Holladay United Church of Christ. An avid reader and intellectually curious, Lila also led a reading group that focused on philosophy and theol! ogy. Strongly committed to education, she saw her own children go on to graduate-level work in law, architecture, art, and art history. Married nearly 65 years, Lila and Glen were devoted to one another and rarely apart. Retiring to St. George, they divided their time among the San Juan Islands, B.C., Canada; San Diego, Calif.; and St. George. They also traveled extensively - visiting many different countries, exploring museums and ancient ruins, watching birds, learning about other cultures and making new friends. Lila is survived by her three children - Pamela Root of New York, NY, Stephen Peglau of Falmouth, Great Britain, and Michael Peglau of Madison, NJ - her seven grandchildren, her dear sister Flora Mae (Robert) Steed of St. George and a half-sister Crystal Lucy Fawcett. Her other siblings, Rex, James and Muray preceded her in death. The family gratefully acknowledges the considerate, attentive care of the staff of Cliff View Senior Living and Zion's Way Hospice. Li! la's intelligence and vitality left a vivid impression on all who knew her. Arrangements under the direction of Metcalf Mortuary.
